375 lower reserved tickets were purchased and 365 upper reserved tickets were purchased

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number lower reserved tickets

and

y be the number of upper reserved tickets

Then according to given statements

x+y = 740\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\9.50x+8y = 6482.50\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 2

From equation 1:

x = 740-y

Putting in equation 2

9.5(740-y)+8y = 6482.50\\7030-9.5y+8y = 6482.50\\7030-1.5y = 6482.50

Subtracting 7030 from both sides

7030-7030-1.5y = 6482.50-7030\\-1.5y=-547.5

Dividing both sides by -1.5

\frac{-1.5y}{-1.5} = \frac{-547.5}{-1.5}\\y = 365

Putting y = 365 in equation 1

x+365 = 740\\x = 740 - 365\\x = 375

Hence,

375 lower reserved tickets were purchased and 365 upper reserved tickets were purchased

Answer:

AM=26

Step-by-step explanation:

Since M is the midpoint of the number line, this means that each side is equal to each other. The midpoint evenly splits it up in half, and since each side is equal that means we can set up an equation making x+20 and 5x-4 the same value.

x+20 = 5x-4

Now you simply carry over, so that x is all by itself. I carried the -4 to the other side first. To carry it over you have to add 4 on both sides, leaving this:

x+24=5x

Then I carried the x to the other side by subtracting -x (or if it helps, imagine an invisible one next to the x so it would be -1x) on both sides.

This gives me: 24=4x

Now that all the x's are by themelves, we can divide 24 by 4 to get our x value:

6=x

Now all we need to do is plug that in for the length of AM:

6+20, which equals our final answer 26

I hope you found this helpful :)

I got A for both questions. Can I get confirmation?

Answer:  No. You reversed the domain and range

              #2) B) x ≥ 0

              #3) B) [0, ∞)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

#2 is asking about the domain, which is all of the x-values.

The graph appears to be touching the y-axis so it equals 0 and all other x-values are greater than zero. (0, 1), (1, 0), (2, -0.8), (3, -1.5), etc.  All of the x-values are moving toward the right, which is positive infinity.      --> x ≥ 0

#3 is asking for the range, which is all of the y-values.

The vertex is at (0, 0) and all other y-values are above zero (positive numbers), moving toward positive infinity.  --> [0, ∞)
